finding the right hook

It’s LABOR DAY – the day to honor workers. But if you’re out of a job, it’s a day to think about getting more creative about opportunities.

For Creatives in a glitch —

Here are three out-of-the-box opportunities (one deadline just passed, but it’ll still get you thinking) that could lead to MONEY or a FUN TRIP (who knows the trip could lead you to opportunities that could lead you to a job…)  Keep Reading»

O M G !
No one told me that part of my Volunteer duties is being a witness to

Someone else’s PELVIC EXAM!

Last night on my ER shift I’m minding my own business when the verrry attractive  Dr. A motions for me to come over to him, which at first I think is a good thing, until —

I realize it’s because he needs me to be with him in the exam room when his hand is up someone else’s Whooha!

So before I can say –

No way will I be that room, when you do THAT!

I’m in there.
Looking down.
Looking up.
Looking anywhere but you-know-where. Keep Reading»

It’s weird how on some days the world looks SUNNY and on other days it feels very DARK. And it has nothing to do with the weather most of the time.

Am I the only one who believes in me?
Will my hopes actually happen?
Am I idealistic?
Unrealistic?
Delusional?

If you’re an Actor; if you’re self-employed; if you free lance;  if you’re in any creative field whatsoever, you can relate, right?

Highs and Lows —

Some days are filled with REJECTION – other days with HOPE. And when you wake up in the morning, you’re never quite sure which one you’re gonna get. Keep Reading»

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it,
but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Keep Reading»

are you listening?

Just saw RUBY SPARKS – so honest, deep, true and a little tough when you’re not quite ready for it. The show-stopping risky scene toward the end made me go WHOA big time. Not surprisingly, Zoe Kazan wrote her great scene herself.  She wrote and produced this little Fox Searchlight gem with her BF Paul Dano, who starred in it with her. How ROMANTIC! How PROACTIVE! How GENIOUS!

Directing DESTINY –

Actors (especially YOUNG CREATIVE WOMEN Actors-turned-MULTI-HYPHENATES) have started putting their destiny into their own hands. It seems like it’s the only way to keep from being a puppet, waiting for someone to pull strings.

Next weekend Rashinda Jones’ CELESTE AND JESSE FOREVER  is being released. Jones co-wrote, produced and (incidentally) is starring in it – destiny in her own hands…

Krysten Ritter did it with LIFE HAPPENS.
Maybe we should all make our own —

• LIVES HAPPEN
• CAREERS HAPPEN
• HAPPINESS HAPPEN.

If this is a trend,
I LIKE it.
I want to LEARN from it.
I want to TRY IT!
